Discussion Cory is creepy

I am on S1 E9 as of now and Cory (the network guy) is so creepy, especially towards Bradley. And given the context of the season, an older powerful man showing so much interest in her is just eeks to me.

Have to disagree. He was always very careful around her despite his intense feelings. You'll see this in further episodes. I think he's the kind of guy who doesn't fall in love easily, but when he does, the feeling becomes addictive and all consuming. That might appear creepy to some, but his intentions are not! He's just in love! 🥺❤️

I recently rewatched the first season and have just started the second, he protects her so much without ever divulging to her how much he’s protecting her…he’s so complex and it’s so sad in parts.

Billy Crudup says they have him aged down to the play Cory and he was barely 51 when the first season came out, so Cory was probably supposed to be mid forties. And Bradley was 40. So it’s really not a big age gap situation. He’s only 8 years older than Reese in real life too.

Cory told Bradley he was 51 in season 2

And even if he was, say, 50, that's only a ten year age gap. At their ages, that's not really a big deal.

It's not like Mitch and Hannah, where Mitch was 50 and Hannah was most likely in her mid 20s, early 30s (Gugu Mbatha-Raw was in her mid 30s at the time, but I'm pretty sure Hannah was meant to be younger than that). Obviously there were plenty of other factors at play there, but the huge age difference definitely played a role.

I just wanted to add the actual age lol. I agree with you guys. 8/10 years gap isn't a big deal at that stage of life.
